Skunnymonster's Multi-Strain Perpetual LED Grow

[grannyT]

The two Tangerines are the smallest with one ever so slightly bigger. Toxic is an absolute monster and double the size of the other two
.
I saw you mention you were worried about defoliating your girls on another thread so stay tuned here. I'll show you how they love it over the next few days. I'll strip loads off on Sunday & post some pics then I'll update early next week so you can see how they respond

Thanks Skunny, I will be looking forward to that !!

 

[skunnymonster]

I was like you once & thought it was sacrilege to cut off the solar panels of the plant but once I tried it there was no going back.

 

[tadlawid]

fluxy lady is so gorgeous, and the rest of your yard is just a perfect sample of what to do !!

not jalous at all.

Friendly

[skunnymonster]

Thanks for the kind words tad & don't be jealous my friend

 

[skunnymonster]

I got home from work in good time today so I checked on my un-sprouted Cotton Candy's & there was no change. The root is just popping on on both & still white & healthy so I've put them back into kitchen roll & put them on a sealed saucer on top of my satellite box. Hopefully this will encourage the little buggers to grow.
I also got busy with the scissors & did an experiment with varying degrees of defol on my two Tangerines. The 1st one has been stripped of all leaves apart from the top cluster, the other has been heavily stripped but not to the same extent so we can see how they react.
This is for you grannyT

I only did the before pics of one as they were much of a muchness, I did however take after pics of both

Plant #2

Here's what got stripped

I'll post more pictures as an when anything dramatic happens so you can see the effects
Right, I'm off back up there to play with Toxic & the flux before lights out

 

[skunnymonster]

Right then, I'm done for tonight & lights are off.
I did some defol on Toxic, she didn't get done as aggressively as the others due to her not being as leafy. I tied some string around her to keep her more compact & did some LST to even the canopy out & gave them all a spray of PM Bio-Wetter.

Here's a top down shot & a couple of group shots to keep you happy.

I hope that keeps you happy, have a great weekend

 

[grannyT]

Love the update Skunny ! All of them have great color and seem very happy ! What is PM bio wetter ? I need to learn more about the extras besides water and nutrients, like teas and such.

 

[skunnymonster]

PM is Plant Magic, they are a UK company who make nutrients suited to our water. It's the first time I've used their range & I'm impressed so far The Bio-Wetter is basically a very high concentrated yukka plant extract. It is normally used in soil to help break the surface tension of the water & enable excellent penetration through the soil medium when feeding. It can also be used as a foliar feed as it contains natural bio-stimulants & helps in the uptake of nutrients & trace elements. I also bought some of their foliar feed called Evolution & I spray with Bio-Wetter 1st, allow this to dry then spray the Evolution. Because the Bio-Wetter breaks the surface tension of water it enables the Evolution to evenly coat the leaves without the usual beading & run off. The Evolution can only be used once a week but I use the Bio-Wetter to spray my plants twice a day. Here's what the website says about Evolution.

EVOLUTION will significantly speed up vegetative stages and gears the plant ready for forming bountiful fruits and flowers, this is due predominantly to the sheer amount of new growth that forms and the number of healthy new shoots.

Benefits of Evolution

EVOLUTION has an abundance of benefits for your plants; improved photosynthesis leading to rapid vertical growth, healthier plants, more fruit sets (leading to better yields) and an improved root structure is just a fraction that can be achieved using this unique formula.
Vigorous Vertical Growth
New Healthy Shoots
Larger Plants, Larger Yields

EVOLUTION is a complex containing a vast range of bio stimulants, natural plant hormones, Polysaccharide sugars, a wealth of vitamins, trace elements, amino acids and of course humic and fulvic acids.

Looking Good

 

[skunnymonster]

Thanks chronic

 

[Dusty Kiefers]

Nice!

 

[Light Addict]

Good sharing going on over here! Nice info plus reps!

 

[skunnymonster]

Thanks for the nice comment & reps LA. I love to share what I do & if someone learns anything from it, be that good or bad then that make me feel all warm & squishy inside

 

[skunnymonster]

I've just checked the two Cotton Candy beans & I don't hold much hope for them. They cracked 7 days ago & the root looks smaller now than it did the day they cracked. As a last ditch attempt to try & kick them into life I'm going to add a drop of Voodoo juice to some water & soak a new piece of towel for them.

Seven days ago

Tonight

 

[wildwelshman]

Hope they come through for you mate

 

[skunnymonster]

Cheers Welshy but I don't think they'll develop to be honest. The voodoo juice would have to work miracles to kick start these two.

You never know stranger things have happened.

 

[skunnymonster]

I've just been over at Herbies picking more beans to help me get me over the impending death of those two & it's been quite therapeutic

Due to all my current grow being Sativa dominant I decided to mix it up a bit.

Here's what I've gone for & the UK cost, I spent just over £50 to get the extra freebies. I also got a nice surprise of a free Dinafem for buying a 3 pack of their seeds

Ripper Old School Feminised Seeds 3 Seeds £14.85
Ripper Washing Machine Feminised Seeds 1 seed £4.95
Dinafem Feminised Kush N Cheese Seeds 3 Seeds £19.80
Kera White Widow Feminised Seeds 1 Seed £6.44
Original Sensible Kali AK Feminised Seeds 1 Seed £6.63

FREE: Dinafem Seeds - 1x Free OG Kush (with any non-auto 3 pack or larger from Dinafem Seeds.)

FREE: 1 X ROYAL QUEEN CRITICAL FEMINISED SEED, 2 X WORLD OF SEEDS NORTHERN LIGHTS X BIG BUD FEMINISED SEEDS, 5 X SKUNK HAZE REGULAR SEEDS

So I've got some good indica dominant strains & some sativa/indica hybrids with much more of a strong lean towards indica.

Oooh I'm all excited

 

[OnTheMove]

hey skunny! great timing on my behalf to follow this grow

wow your gunna be busy, hope you got enuff soil lol for all them seeds lol..

hey the full moon is in 4 days so they will be fine and dandy, 1 cm tall and proud by the 14th

 

[skunnymonster]

Hey OTM, great for you to drop by
Haha, I wish I've got 100L of coco but not enough room or lighting for all the seeds unfortunately so they'll get spread out & fed into the flower room over time
I think I'll pop one Old School, one Kush N Cheese & one Northern Lights as I still want to take some clones off the ones in veg. So to concur, yep I'll be busy
I like your lunar prediction my friend I know nothing about that side of things but I trust your judgement

I've just had a confirmation from Herbies that my seeds have been shipped so I'll be popping them tomorrow
